How to create an executable installer for JavaFX aplication using Maven and Inno Setup in Netbeans 11

Question

In netbeans 8.2 I was ablle to create an installer using native bundle. I tried doing the same in Netbeans 11 using maven and the javafx-maven-plugin.

I use install jfx:native as a build action.

Here is my pom.xml file http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> 4.0.0 ClienteIntegradorMaven 1.0-SNAPSHOT UTF-8 12 12 ClienteIntegradorMaven

Answer 1

You can always compile the Inno Setup script from a batch file (.bat).

Simply use the following syntax in batch file:

path\to\ISCC.exe path\to\your\file.iss

See the details: how to compile scripts using command-line compiler in Inno Setup .

So all you need is to call the batch file from Maven/Netbeans/xml.

PS I have no experiences with Maven or Netbeans (however I am an Inno Setup expert) so I cannot paste the exact solution.
